Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses writes letter

Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses wrote a Sunday letter to the Archdiocese of Seville to announce the upcoming ordination of four deacons and one priest. The ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, September 26.

The archbishop stated that the event brings joy and hope to the entire archdiocese. In his letter, he congratulated the five men for choosing to dedicate their lives to God and their neighbors. He encouraged young people to listen for God's call and urged the community to help them find the silence necessary to hear that call.

Saiz Meneses also addressed the nature of ministry in his message, describing the priesthood as a gift to the Church and explaining the three inseparable dimensions of diaconal ministry. He noted that priestly vocation remains relevant today and is not a thing of the past.
